Bagsecg of Jylland (830-) was the Jarl of Jylland.

Biography
Bagsecg of Jylland was born in 830 to the House of Jute, and he became the King of the Jarldom of Jylland. Bagsecg married Aslaug Ivarsdottir, the daughter of King Ivar the Boneless of Sudreyjar and the granddaughter of the legendary Viking king Ragnarr Lodbrok. Bagsecg held court in Jelling and reigned as Jarl of Jylland in peace, and due to his alliance with the sons of Lodbrok, he was safe from threat. In 867, when the sons of Lodbrok invaded England to avenge the execution of their father in 865, Bagsecg did not take part in the invasion, and he had only a "maybe" chance of supporting Halfdan Whiteshirt of Jorvik if he called for his help.
